PLANNING STAFF REPORT
JEFFERSON CITY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
February 9,2017
Case No. P17001 - 1510 and 1590 Jefferson Street,Truman Hotel Urban Renewal Plan.Request
filed by Housing Authority of the City of Jefferson,Missouri, to review conformity of the proposed
Truman Hotel Urban Renewal Plan with the City's general plan and provide recommendations to the
Land Clearance Redevelopment Authority and City Council. The Land Clearance for Redevelopment
Authority Board of Commissioners adopted the proposed Truman Hotel Urban Renewal Plan at their
meeting on January 17, 2017 (Cynthia Quetsch, Executive Director; John S. (Jack)Pletz,General
Counsel).
Nature of the Request
The Jefferson City Housing Authority,acting in its capacity as the Land Clearance for Redevelopment
Authority (LCRA), found that the Truman Hotel site is blighted and adopted an Urban Renewal Plan that
would eliminate/mitigate the blight in the area by constructing new hotel buildings. Section 99.430
RSMo provides that prior to recommending an urban renewal plan to the City Council, the LCRA must
submit the plan to the planning agency for review and recommendations as to its conformity with the
general plan for the development of the community as a whole.
The document was delivered to the City on January 27, 2017. The City's planning agency must submit
its written recommendations with respect to the proposed plan to the LCRA within 30 days of receipt of
the plan for review.
Redevelopment Plan
The Truman Hotel Urban Renewal Plan outlines redevelopment of the property, which is split into two
parcels,as follows:
Parcel 1 - the southwestern portion of the site - would involve the demolition of three existing outdated
hotel buildings and redevelopment of the site with a new five story,131 room business class hotel with
indoor pool and restaurant.
Parcel 2 - the northeastern portion of the site - would involve the demolition of the existing outdated
hotel buildings and construction of a new four story, 125 room business class hotel and replacement of
existing conference space with a new two story, 20,000 square foot conference,meeting, and event
space.
Staff Analysis
The 1996 Comprehensive Plan Update identifies the area as being intended for commercial development
on the development plan map. The plan to redevelop the site for commercial purposes,including hotel,
conference center and incidental uses,would conform to the recommended commercial use of the
property by the Comprehensive Plan.
Form of Motion
Motion that the Truman Hotel Urban Renewal Plan does conform with the City's general plans and
adopting the recommended findings of the plan.

1.INTRODUCTION
Foreword
The purpose of this plan is to present findings and conditions of blight in the area shown on Pages
2 - 4, for the Truman Hotel Urban Renewal Area in Jefferson City, MO,and to present the plan for
the urban renewal project to mitigate or eliminate the conditions of blight in the area.
Section 99.320(3),Revised Statutes of Missouri,defines a "blighted area"as:"an area which, by
reason of the predominance of defective or inadequate street lay-out,insanitary or unsafe
conditions,deterioration of site improvements,improper subdivision or obsolete platting,or the
existence of conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other causes,or any
combination of such factors,retards the provision of housing accommodations or constitutes an
economic or social liability or a menace to the public health,safety,morals,or welfare in its present
condition and use."
Based upon the findings and the analysis set out in a study conducted by Vallbridge Property
Advisors,the Truman Hotel Urban Renewal Area (the "Area")was found to exhibit the conditions
that warrant a declaration that it is a blighted area under the Land Clearance for Redevelopment
Law,Sections 99.300-99.660,Revised Statutes of Missouri (the "Law").

(the "City").The Area is generally bounded by Jefferson Street to the southeast, an access
road for offices of the Missouri Department of Transportation ("MoDOT")and Highway Patrol
to the southwest, Southridge Drive to the northwest, and Zumwalt Road to the northeast. The
Area comprises all parcels in this block except for the one containing the aforementioned

Truman Ilrhan Rpnpwal Plan Paop ?
2015 AERIAL IMAGERY
Iruman Hotel III lledevclopnienl Aie.)
lellerson City,Missouri
DEVEIOPUENISIRATEGIES-
The Area is located southwest of downtown Jefferson City in a mixed-use,auto-centric
corridor featuring a number of low to mid-range hotel and motel properties,fast food
restaurants,and automotive services.The Area itself currently contains five buildings
comprising approximately 146,000 square feet.Until recently,these buildings were
operated as the Truman Hotel and Conference Center,a 233-room non-flagged
convention hotel.The hotel,built in 1968,has become increasingly outdated and
rundown.The property conditions are rapidly deteriorating in the area.Several of the
buildings are completely unusable due to their poor condition,and the others are not
able to generate enough income to produce a profit. Electricity,water,and gas services
have been terminated to all buildings.The hotel has been closed down in stages over
the past several years and currently sits boarded up to prevent any vandalism to the
structure.Some individuals have tried to gain access to the buildings to occupy them
illegally.
The entire Area is currently zoned "C-2"(General Commercial District), which,
according to the City's zoning code,"is intended to accommodate general trades and
commercial services ...located at select nodes,intersections,and highway
interchanges to serve the motoring public and highway users."The proposed uses for the
site are consistent with,and in furtherance of,this intention.
Truman Urban Renewal Plan Page 3
Neighboring Development
The Area's immediate surroundings are mostly occupied by low-density, highway-
oriented commercial uses.Beyond the commercial district,"to the east,west,and south,
the land use is predominantly residential.To the northeast,along Jefferson and
Madison Streets,lies a denser commercial corridor that connects the Area to downtown
Jefferson City,approximately 1.5 miles away.

2.BLIGHT ANALYSIS
Basis for Area Designation
A land clearance authority may prepare an urban renewal plan under the Law, or any
person or agency private or public may submit such a plan to an authority,if the area in
question meets the definition of a "Blighted Area." Field investigations and analyses
undertaken by Vallbridge Property Advisors found the Area exhibited the requirements
necessary for designation under the Law as a Blighted Area.The analysis of existing
conditions and evidence of the factors present in the Area are described in detail in this
section.The Blighted Area qualification factors present in the Area include the following:
Defective or Inadequate Street Layout;
Insanitary or Unsafe Conditions;
Deterioration of Site Improvements;
Existence of Conditions Which Endanger Lifeor Property by Fire and Other Causes.
Blight Defined-Chapter 99
The Missouri "Real Property Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act"Sections 99.300
to 99.660 defines a blighted area as an area which:
By reason of the predominance of defective or inadequate street layout,insanitary or
unsafe conditions,deterioration of site improvements,improper subdivision or
obsolete platting,or the existence of conditions which endanger life or property by
fire and other causes,or any combination of such factors,retards the provision of
housing accommodations or constitutes an economic or social liability or a menace
to the public health,safety,morals,or welfare in its present condition and use,
Chapter 99 Factor #1-Defective or Inadeguate Street Layout
Conditions associated with defective or inadequate street layout include poor vehicular
access and/or internal circulation;substandard driveway definition and parking layout (e.g.
lack of curb cuts,awkward entrance and exit points);offset or irregular intersections;and
substandard or nonexistent pedestrian circulation and lack of signage.Large portions of the
Area lacks curb,contains three awkward entrance/exit points,and lack of signage to
designate the same.
Transportation Routes
Highway 54 runs through Jefferson City in the north/south direction and connects the area
to the Lake of the Ozarks to the south and more rural communities to the north.Highway 63
is located to the north of Jefferson City and connects the area to Columbia,MO,located
about 30 miles to the north.Highway 50 runs through the city in an east/west direction and
eventually connects with Kansas City to the west and St. Louis to the east.Overall,access
to the area is considered to be average.
Frontage Streets
The Area is located to the south of Zumwalt Street,in between Jefferson Street and
Southridge Drive.Jefferson Street is a frontage road along Highway 54.According to the
Missouri Department of Transportation,Highway 54 has a traffic volume of 24,115 per day.
The following table shows information about the streets that front the Area.
Truman Urban Renewal Plan Page 5
Street Name:Jefferson Street Southridge Drive
Access:One curb cut Two curb cuts
Street Paving:Asphalt Asphalt
At Signalized Intersection:None None
Lanes:Two Two
Direction of Traffic:Northeast/southwest Northeast/southwest
Condition:Average Average
Curbs:None None
Sidewalk:None None
Overall Visibility:Good Good
One of the conditions that was common throughout the Area was that of non-existent
pedestrian circulation.There are no sidewalks located on the interior of the property or
along Jefferson Drive or Southridge Drive.The lack of sidewalks creates a dangerous
environment for pedestrians within the Area.Creating pedestrian linkages with major activity
hubs such as a convention center is often a planning priority of communities.
Local Traffic Signals
The following aerial map shows the ingress/egress points,with the Area outlined in red.
*^m
fA -:<|.
jflP-:-W^^\
The Area contains one curb cut on the south end of Jefferson Street and two curb cuts on
the north end of Southridge Drive. As shown above,the entrance to the hotel is located on
the northeastern portion of the site, far away from all of the curb cuts.It is difficult for people
unfamiliar with the property to discern the location of the entrance to the hotel,based upon
the location of the curb cuts.
Truman Urban Renewal Plan Page 6
Interior Traffic
With regards to interior traffic circulation within the Area, unlike modern hotel properties,the
Area does not have speed bumps which might slow vehicles and allow for greater safety for
pedestrians.Also,the Area does not have any traffic signs to instruct vehicles to yield or
stop.This has the potential to be confusing for motorists and dangerous for pedestrians as
there are many buildings sharing access drives in the parking area.
Conclusion Factor #1
Based upon the information presented above,it is concluded that the Area suffers from a
defective or inadequate street layout.The roadways that front the Area do not contain any
curbing or a median lane area,which does not allow for the adequate flow of traffic and is
not a professional,finished look that is important for commercial areas such as the Area.
Also,there are no sidewalks located around the area.Finally,the interior traffic at the Area
does not allow for good traffic flow as there are no speed bumps or traffic signals,and the
location of the curb cuts is far away from the entrance to the hotel lobby.
Chapter 99 Factor #2-Unsanitary or Unsafe Conditions
There are numerous instances within the Area exhibiting unsafe or unsanitary conditions.
As discussed in the previous section,there is a defective or inadequate street layout in the
area,which is potentially dangerous for motorists and pedestrians.
There is a mold infestation in the north wing of the 100/200 building.There is also mildew
damage in all of the other buildings at the property along with debris such as peeling wall
paint and other such materials in many of the vacant rooms.
Chapter 99 Factor #3-Deterioration of Site Improvements
Site improvements are defined as "Improvements on and off a site that make it suitable for
its intended use or development.On-site improvements include grading,landscaping paving
and utility hook-ups;off-site improvements include streets,curbs,sidewalks,drains and
connecting utility lines."(Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal,5th Edition).
It is determined that Area has deterioration of site improvements and the pictures on the
following pages show the extent.

Chapter 99 Factor #4-lmproper Subdivision or Obsolete Platting
There are specific conditions that can be used to determine the existence of improper
subdivision or obsolete platting.Among these conditions are irregular or faulty lot shape
and/or layout,inadequate lot size, and poor access.These conditions are not present within
the Area.
Chapter 99 Factor #5-Existence of Conditions Which Endanger Life or Property by
Fire or Other Causes
The property is also considered to be a fire risk.There is no sprinkler system in any of the
buildings at the Area. This risk is especially significant in the Area because the kitchen area
can represent a significant fire risk.The guest rooms each contain a smoke detector.
However, the guest rooms in the 400 and 500 Buildings have been vacant for at least a
year and it is unknown whether these smoke detectors are in good working order.The lack
of functioning fire sprinkler systems in the buildings will increase fire risk which can
endanger life and property. Overall,conditions which endanger life or property are
considered to be an indication of blight in the Area.
Blight Factors Conclusion-Chapter 99
The predominance of blighting factors within the Area is established by the presence offour
of the five blighting factors.The table below provides a review of the blighting factors.

Defective or Inadequate Street Layout X
Unsanitary or Unsafe Conditions X

The Vallbridge Study Concluded that four of the five blighting factors exist within the Area.
As four of the five blighting factors exist within the Area, Vallbridge next examined whether
these factors contribute to the four conditions defined by the statute.
Chapter 99 Condition #1-Hinderance to Housing Accommodations
This condition of the blight definition is intended to intended to deal with the growth and
development in the surrounding neighborhood.The Area is zoned C-2,General Commercial
District by the City of Jefferson.According to the municipal code,the purpose of the C-2
district is "to accommodate general trades and commercial services not permitted in central
and neighborhood zoning districts located at select nodes,intersections and highway
interchanges to serve the motoring public and highway users.Buffering,landscaping and
open space areas are required to mitigate impacts of the more intensive land uses and
traffic activities as well as provide adequate access and traffic improvements."Residential
uses are not encouraged within this zoning district and therefore this condition is not
considered to be applicable.
Truman Urban Renewal Plan Page 10
Chapter 99 Condition #2-Economic Liability
The Area has experienced declining revenues and is generating little in real estate taxes
and sales taxes at present.Without redevelopment it is expected that revenues will continue
to decline and tax generation will continue to be very low. As discussed in the previous
section,the Area is considered to be an economic liability.The poor street layout,
unsanitary or unsafe conditions,the deterioration of site improvements,as well as the fire
risk at the Area have contributed to the economic liabilityof the Area.
Chapter 99—Condition #3 Social Liability
As discussed in the previous section,the Area is not able to provide jobs or adequate tax
revenue for services and is considered to be a social liability.The poor street layout,
insanitary or unsafe conditions,the deterioration of site improvements,as well as the fire
risk at the Area have contributed to the social liability.
Chapter 99 Condition #4-Menace to Public Health,Safety,Morals and Welfare
As discussed in the previous section,the Area has a mold infestation in the north wing of
the 100/200 Building.There is also an issue with mildew in each of the buildings. Finally,
the property has a cockroach infestation in the hotel area.The Area is concluded to be a
menace to public health,safety,morals and welfare.The unsanitary or unsafe conditions
have contributed to the menace to public health,safety,morals and welfare.
Conclusion-Chapter 99
After consideration and examination of the Area,the area,on the whole,is a "Blighted
Area,"such as the term is defined in the Law.The Area meets requirements for a Blighted
Area,exhibiting factors including but not limited to:
Defective or Inadequate Street Layout
Unsanitary or Unsafe Conditions
Deterioration of Site Improvements
Conditions which Endanger Lifeor Property by Fire and Other
Causes
By reason of a predominance of these conditions, in its present condition and use,the Area
constitutes an economic liability,a social liability,as well as a menace to public health and
safety and is therefore concluded to be a blighted area as defined by the Missouri "Land
Clearance for Redevelopment Authority Law"Sections 99.300 to 99.660.

Description of Proposal
This proposal is for the approval of a Final Subdivision Plat for the Capital Mall. The Capital Mall was developed
in the late 1970's,but was never formally divided into lots and outlots. A development agreement approved by the
City Council in 2013 permitted the property owner to divide the property into several lots based on existing tax
parcel boundaries and outlined a plan that would require the owner to submit a formal subdivision plat at a future
date. A Special Exception Permit and rezoning plan approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission in 2015
outlined the creation of several additional outlots.
Final Plat
The Final Subdivision Plat details the lot layout of the subdivision as well as utility easements and other notable
survey information.
Acreage:The total size of the subdivision is 55.2 acres.
Number of Lots:11 lots are shown on the subdivision plat.
Lot Sizes:Lot sizes range in size from 23.3 acres to 0.77 acres.
Lots:

and conveniently with
continuous collaboration from
the community"
Go to http:/7www.ieffersoncitymo.qov/CAMPO
for a full version of this plan.
The Plan
The Capital Area Pedestrian & Bicycle Plan,adopted in
2016,is intended as a resource to improve safety,
connectivity,and mobility for pedestrian and bicycle
users in the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning
Organization (CAMPO)planning area.The goals,
recommendations,and strategies outlined in the plan
can be used byjurisdictions to develop an
individualized implementation strategy to fit the
unique pedestrian and bicycle needs of that
community.The plan is also intended to be a guide
for future growth by recommending strategies,
policies,and procedures to guide future development
and improve existing infrastructure,making the
CAMPO planning area a great place to walk and bike.
The regional plan includes information for all
communities within the CAMPO planning area,
including:Holts Summit,Jefferson City, Lake Mykee,
St.Martins,Taos,Wardsville,and parts of Cole and
Callaway Counties.
The process to develop the plan included intensive
public outreach,gathering input from local,state,
regional,and federal planning partners,city and
county staff, local business owners,advocacy groups,
and most importantly,the general public.Through
the use of surveys,committee input,and public
comments,CAMPO staff was able to access a wide
range of public input.This public input was used to
create the goals and strategies used in the plan.It is
hoped that jurisdictions within CAMPO will:
•Formally adopt the Capital Area Pedestrian and
Bicycle Plan.
•Develop an Implementation Strategy specific to
thatjurisdiction.
•Adopt a Livable Streets policy appropriate for
their community.

What is CAMPO?
CAMPO Planning Area
CAMPOis the designated metropolitan planning
organization for the Jefferson City urbanized area
and is governed by a Board of Directors that consists
of representatives from jurisdictions within the
planning area and Missouri Department of
Transportation (MoDOT).
CAMPO is responsible for long range multimodal
transportation planning,including maintenance of
the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP)and
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
Collaboration is important in achieving CAMPO's core
functions and responsibilities.As a regional
organization,CAMPO coordinates and collaborates
with a number of partners at the state and local \e\/e\,
both public and private.These partnerships provide
the opportunity for a\\regional partners to coordinate
planning and implementation activities.
Walking and bicycling are
important...
Walking and bicycling are important aspects of a
community's public health,economic vitality,safety,
environmental sustainability,and mobility.These
modes of transportation are especially important for
children,the elderly,the disabled,and those with
fixed or low incomes.Walkability and bikeability are
important to attracting tourists and attracting or
retaining residents alike.
Benefits of Active Transportation
Active transportation can include walking,bicycling,
skating and skateboarding,and public transit.Using
active transportation supports locai trips and is an
easy way for people to get a regular dose of physical
activity and contribute to the locai economy.
The benefits of a more bicycle and pedestrian friendly
community are varied and complex.Planning for
such a community contributes to resolving many
issues,including;
Health - Physical activity such as walking and
bicycling can reduce incidences of chronic
health problems and improve quality of life.
The picture to the left depicts two young girls
preparing to run in a 5k in downtown
Jefferson City.
Economic Development -Walkable and bikable
communities support the local economy by
increasing traffic at local businesses,tourism,
and increased home values.
Safety-Improving the safety of people walking
and bicycling improves the safety of everyone,
including people in cars.
Congestion -Improving facilitiesfor walking and
bicycling is an essential component of
reducing traffic congestion.
Environmental Impacts -Fewer cars on the road
mean lower greenhouse gas emissions and a
reduction in noise pollution.
Accessibility - Walking and bicycling are low cost
transportation options that aii members of the
community can access.
By guiding the region toward bicycle and pedestrian
friendly development,this plan can affect aii of these
areas,collectively influencing existing and future
quality of life in the CAMPO planning area.
Plan Development
In the spring of 2015,the CAMPO Board of Directors
approved the creation of two committees to support
the development of this plan.These two committees,
the Advisory Committee and the Steering Committee,
were key participants in the creation of this plan,as
they were comprised of a number of public and
private stakeholders and provided invaluable input
and commentary to CAMPO staff as the plan was
developed.

More than 50 people attended the June 25,2015 Open House
event, providing CAMPO staff with a range of useful comments and
suggestions on improving pedestrian and bicycle access.
Outreach to CAMPO Jurisdictions
Presentations were given and/or meetings held with
each CAMPO jurisdiction during the development of
the plan and during the adoption process.Each
jurisdiction was given the opportunity to develop an
Implementation Strategy specific to their community
needs and capabilities.
Public participation and stakeholder input was key during the
planning process.The Steering and Advisory Committees
provided valuable input and support in the development of this
plan.
Vision,Goals,and Objectives
The Vision,Goals,and Objectives developed for this
plan are the foundation for developing and
improving pedestrian and bicycle travel in the
CAMPO region. A wide variety of stakeholders,and
the public contributed to the development of the
vision statement,which establishes the basic
principles used to develop the goals,objectives,and
recommendations identified.This plan seeks to
provide guidance for the region to become more
pedestrian and bicycle friendly through
improvements to safety, access,and mobility.
The goals have been created to complement the
Vision statement.Working with St.Louis-based
Trailnet,through the Missouri Department of Health
and Senior Services,a joint Advisory and Steering
Committee meeting helped refine the goals. Both the
vision statement and goals were subsequently
approved by the Steering Committee.
Each goal was assigned specific objectives,which
supports the achievement of the goal and realization
of the vision.The goals and objectives were used to
develop the CAMPO Strategy.
A large amount of public input went into the
development of the goals and objectives.Multiple
Steering Committee and Advisory Committee
meetings were used to gather valuable input about
needs in the planning area.
Vision
"A vibrant,comprehensive transportation network
where aii persons can safely walk,bike, &ride the bus
efficiently and conveniently with continuous
collaboration from the community."

Implementation
This implementation section of the plan lays out a
strategy for the CAMPO region to achieve the goals
and objectives of this plan.Included,are strategies,
performance measures,and timelines to guide and
track the implementation process.Also included is an
illustrative list of projects and a list of funding options
that can be used to support these items.
It is important to reiterate the role of CAMPO in the
implementation of this plan.Although the CAMPO
region includes six incorporated communities and
portions of two counties,it has no direct influence
over anyjurisdiction within its borders.However,
CAMPO can assist local jurisdictions with developing
a community specific implementation strategy
referencing the goals and recommendations laid out
in this plan.It is the jurisdictions responsibility to
implement the plan.
All activities undertaken by CAMPO staff must be
supported by the Unified Planning Work Program.
The "CAMPO Strategy"
The CAMPO Strategy includes a list of strategies that
CAMPO has identified as tasks that can be addressed
or started within the next one to five years.Using the
goals and recommendations as a guide,the strategies
were grouped into the following four categories
reflective of the public comments and input received:
•Policy &Planning
•Education and Safety
•Tourism
•Pedestrian & Bicycle Network Improvements
As strategies are implemented and
funding is made available projects
may be programed into the CAMPO
Transportation Improvement Program
(TIP).The pedestrian bridge, pictured
left, is an example of a pedestrian
project that was able to be funded
and programed into the TIP.
Policy &Planning
•Participation in or support of a Pedestrian &Bicycle
Committee.
•Cooperate with jurisdictions in the development of
community specific plans,policies,ordinances,or
grant applications.
•Encourage the adoption of the Capital Area
Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan byjurisdictions.
•Collaborate with or form partnerships with local,
state,and national organizations.
Education and Safety
•Assist communities with development of
education campaigns that support or promote
recreational,safety,and/or education events.
•Assist communities with development of a Walking
School Bus Program.
Tourism
•Provide maps or brochures showing mobility
options for tourists and the general public.
•Assist communities or local organizations with
promotion of walking/bicycling tourism events.
Pedestrian &Bicycle Network Improvements
•Assist communities with identification of gaps in
connectivity,including pedestrian,bicycle,and
transit.
•Evaluate sidewalk condition and ADA compliance.
•Assist with identification and prioritization of
future sidewalk locations.
•Encourage development of bicycle and/or walking
route options linking CAMPO communities,Katy
Trail, Rock Island Trail,Greenway Trail,Runge
Nature Center Trail,and Clark's Hill/Norton State
Historic Site Trail.
•Assist with identification of additional areas to
enhance wayfinding signage.
•Identify areas where infrastructure is needed.
•Review and update Capital Area Pedestrian and
Bicycle Plan.

CAMPO Livable Streets Policy
As part of the 2016 adoption of the Capital Area Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan,the CAMPO Board of Directors also
adopted a Livable Streets Policy. Livable Streets,also known as Complete Streets,isa design and planning
approach that considers the needs and safety concerns of all residents and users,including vehicles,pedestrians,
bicyclists,transit users,seniors and the mobility-impaired.Jefferson City is the only community within CAMPO to
have passed a resolution in support of Livable Streets. The resolution was passed in November of 2011.
The CAMPO LivableStreets Policyworks to achieve the region's long range vision of a safe and context-sensitive
multimodal street system promoting equal use of roads.It is modeled from the Mid-America Regional Council's
Complete Streets Policy.The policy actively promotes LivableStreets and encourages all jurisdictions throughout
the region to additionally adopt and implement Livable Streets policies of their own.The policy applies to all
CAMPOactivities programming federal funds for projects in the Transportation Improvement Program or the
Metropolitan Transportation Plan.
